Both were desperate to win.
But YTL in particular, is throwing caution to the wind by resorting to all kind of tricks known in order to win.
One of the most glaring was that, it had roped in the help of the supposedly reputable The Edge to campaign for its bid and at the same time rubbishing that of its rivals.
This is a typical The Edge's reporting of the tussle for the project which clearly favors YTL,
YTL Power front runner for coal plant
The Edge's report even made it a point to remind readers, in particular those in the decision making position, to bear in mind of YTL's connections with the royalties as mentioned in this paragraph of the report:
"Recall that YTL Power had proposed for the project to be built in Tanjung Tohor, Johor together with SIPP Power Sdn Bhd, of which the Sultan of Johor is a major shareholder."
You will find other similar articles of the same vein on the project if you care to search for them at The Edge's website.
If you read through all those reports it will become clear that The Edge's sources on the tussle for the power plant project came mostly from YTL as the stories were written in such a manner that it favors that company over its rivals bidders.
This is an example of The Edge's report on 1MDB's bid for the power plant.
Highlight: 1MDB faces hiccups in power assets listing
Note that in the second paragraph, the report quoted "various industry sources" to highlight the problems faced by 1MDB's proposal for the power plant.
As far as I am concerned that part where The Edge claimed that it got more than one source for the story is a load of bullshit. I am quite confident that there was only one real source for that report. No prize for guessing from where The Edge got all those supposedly dirts about the bids by YTL's rival.
It's my opinion that The Edge which of late had published several political articles not favorable of the establishment has clearly took side and that it will benefit immensely in one way or another once YTL secures the multi-billion ringgit deal.
And if you bother to check the background of those leading The Edge's editorial team, you wouldn't be too surprised as to why it had taken such a stance.
Anyway, the side taken by The Edge has become even more apparent when DAP's Tony Pua also throws his support behind YTL's bid for the project in his blog.
But why does the Pakatan side suddenly so supportive of YTL?
Read this posting by The Benchmark to get a better understanding of the issue,
People's Hero or Corporate Champion?
The blogger is also asking the same question regarding Pua's motives.
My guess answer was that : some organizations such as YTL and The Edge which were involved in this power plant issue had already placed their bets on the outcome of the next general election.
That's why they are getting the cheers from the likes of Tony Pua.
I bet that many other organizations are also placing similar bets, and they include a major media organization, supposedly supportive of the establishment, but in actual fact is supporting the other side....just in case.
Well, I rather save that for later.

Why the needs to drop the royalty connection in the write-up then, if connection, network and alliance is not important?
Another good example is Lim Kok Wing who got his big break with the Government/BN Rakan Muda Project in the past. There are many other stories that I can share here, but suffice to say, the Chinese in Malaysia is greedy, conniving and ungrateful business lot. Once they made it, they take it all and move their bounty abroad.
Tu Wei-ming, Professor of Chinese History and Philosophy at Harvard University, identifies 3 characteristics of the "human-rootedness" of Confucian thought, ie. learning how to be truly human
Delete"CHENG" (juhng) designates the state of absolute quiet and inactivity, being sincere, authentic, real. One can be genuinely human without engaging in a flurry of activities.
SHEN (shen) signifies spirituality. Crucial concerns of Shen are the "heavenly aspect of the soul" and its development.
CHI (jee). Based upon the cumulative effect of self-transformation, Chi, is an "originating power, an inward spring of activity...a critical point at which one's direction toward good or evil is set" can be identified and used to further 'flourish the soul.' (Tu Wei-ming)
COMMUNITY. The community is necessary for this self-transformation to occur. It serves to broaden and deepen the self, expressing the fundamental integration of all the facets of our world. Once rooted, the soul contributes to the four visions that identify the classic Confucian vision of the world. The four visions are:
1. the ability to respond to the world in a poetic sense, or aesthetic appreciation.
2. the social dimension of ritual activity as means for verbal and non-verbal communication within the "human community"
3. the historical understanding that can relate to the collective memory
4. the political actions which are responsive and responsible to the whole community.
DAP by virtue of its neo-Marxist manifesto and Maoist affiliations ala Chin Peng idolatry is thus inherently anti-Confucius in spirit and character. For those Chinese who seek political mileage and economic fantasies through DAP here in Malaysia, they are actually doing so in willful ignorance of their best spiritual interests and prospects for long-term cultural survival.
The Loan Shark as Epitome of Chinese Criminal Culture
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4TDmLa8dj4
Despite whatever DAP says in its manifesto and whatever claims it may have made of its "democractic socialism", the party today is nothing more than another bourgeois party championing the vested interests of a section of the Malaysian capitalist class against other capitalist sections' respective vested interests through politics.
DeleteCrime, such as gangs and loan sharks, is illegal capitalist practices as opposed to legal capitalist practices and criminals are illegal capitalists as opposed to legal capitalist activities.
Loan shark activity is the anti-thesis of the tenets of Confucianism, Taoism, Marxism or any other religion, spirituality or ethical philosophy.

ReplyDeleteYTL is a BN crony - simple as that.
I suspect that Tony Pua is just as surprised as I am that YTL has not gone in with a higher bid and winning!!
As a representative of the rakyat, he is entitled to ask for an official reason as to why a lower bid was not accepted.
In fact, I, myself, was scratching my head - a well-known BN crony with a lower bid price LOSING?? WTF!!
Thanks for the Benchmark link because it gives some technical reasons against the YTL bid.
I have a feeling that the contract will contain clauses which allows any winner, in this case, YTL, to increase prices for whatever reasons and it's likely YTL was counting on exploiting those clauses.
Based on past experiences, it doesn't matter which company wins a contract - it will always be the ordinary Malaysian who will loses.
I expect it to be no different in this case.

Dear Gladiator,
DeleteIn Business just like in Politics, there are no permanent friendship/alliances. For their survival, the businessmen and businesswomen will not put all their eggs into 1 basket. They would fund both side of the political divide.
To give you an idea, what we read and see is smoke and mirror.
This was personally told to me by a son of a prominent politician within UMNO. He said that it was funny reading about all these spate between his dad and Lim Kit Siang. Uncle Lim always come over to their house for Hari Raya. So in the newspaper, they appeared to be 'enemies'. Belakang takbir...God knows.
As a rakyat, I think it is best we do not side any political divide. Make them fight for our affection instead. The more we fight for a political party, the more mengada they get. Look at how UMNO treats the Malay like shit. And look at how DAP treats everybody that disagree with them like shit. Power gets to your head.
M.E.I
It's OK when the Chinese did , no matter how , no matter what , just imagine how much money they put up to come up with the articles and how much more would be spend to get the contract secured 'if they did ' that's was never classified as "rasuah" , that's ways and means to get thing done ,how smart Chinese are .
ReplyDeleteShould Malaysia will be "RASUAH" free ,no way that can happened , but what funny about Malaysia is that only Malay takers are wrong .
Very true, for malay, being muslim, corruption is haram. It is self regulation. For kafir, corruption is only illegal or haram if you get caught by the law enforcer. So corruption, for chinese kafirs is ok.
DeleteI have said it many time before, to them it is entertainment expenses/allowances but to us, the Muslims, it is Rasuah and Haram. Still the lure of money and fortunate has trapped many Malay Muslims into that.
DeleteDon't be surprise many Chinese Bankers, Marketing and Sales people also steal from their company, by getting under table commission from the supplier and businesses alike. They will normally act in cohort with the respective company employee or even bosses by either receiving commission as percentage of the contract/purchase/loan values or split them with respective employees. And guess who are paying for this extra cost? It will normally will be passed back to the consumers.
They are very smart and conniving, for small amount of commission, they will normally receive cash payment or through third party. For bigger amount, they will normally open a foreign account in Singapore, Australia or New Zealand, so that the transaction won't be traced here in Malaysia.

1. Hannah Yeoh in Subang Jaya, Theresa Kok in Seputeh, and Ong kian Ming in Serdang won by a landslide, and the three of them contribute the most to the popular vote counts;
2. The number of Malays registered voters are lower the the Chinese, despite them being the majority. In this case, in the last PRU13 their votes have not been accounted for. I believe the trend will change in the next PRU14, where more and more Malays will become registered voters;
3. UMNO (Melayu) does not need the Chinese votes to win PRU13. That is why Dapster have been working 24-7 now to woo the Malays into their pig sty;
4. UMNO has improved its Malays seat by 12 seats in the last PRU13 as compared to PRU12.
Re. your supporters are leaving you because of your backward thinking

Ayatollah is the term used for Shiite Muslim supreme religious leader, I am a Sunni Muslim. Sunni Muslim views the Shiite Muslims as Deviant Islamic teaching due to various contradiction in their teaching. For one, just like the Hindu who believe that cow dung and urine are sacred and God resides in Cow Urine as mentioned below, the Shiite Muslim also believe the same but in their case, the Shiite Muslims believe, their Religious Leader/Imam's Shit is sacred. You can read both evidences as follows:

P.S
I don't mind being a Budding Ayatollah, though I have given the above explanation to rebut, but why do you feel upset about the reality and fact that you are Dalit and Devadasi Descendent? The British didn't bring the Brahmin to this country right. Again, RENOUNCING YOU RELIGION AND BECOMING AND ATHEIST, WON"T MAGICALLY ERASE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE A DALIT AND DEVADASI DESCENDENT.

DeleteWhat popular vote you are talking about , as far as I am aware the Chinese vote base on racial sentiment base on the community drive on whom to vote they don't have free minds in voting, that why no Malay candidate would win on Chinese majority grounds. Unlike the Malays which are more independent and politically driven ,that why even non Malay candidate from BN would prefer a Malay majority area.
I don't believe popular vote are in Chinese minds though the candidate could be popular and could give a good service to them , a good example are Gani Othman in Gelang Patah and Ali Rustam in Bukit Katil.
The fact that the chinese had been voting along racial line or to anyone that gives them a greater worldly benefit had been well established since the first GE. If Pakatan can upped the benefit above what BN had been giving, they have no qualm about switching allegiance.

A fair statement by you, but can you elaborate some of the details?
However, based on tracked record MCA still won Malay majority constituencies and even their existence today is at the MERCY at Malay votes. That despite DAP and Donkey ZONG (read Chinese) and even MCA including those who turn coat like Ong Kian Ming have been playing the racial and religious sentiment prior to PRU13 to the irk of the Malays.
Re. many unsolved problems in mca
The late Tan Ah Eng has been serving Gelang Patah seat for few terms, and her record was impeccable. Even on her dying bed, she had reached out to her constituency to support BN. You can google that youtube video and I think Annie had posted it before too.
The question here, If MCA has internal problem, but the former ADUN has served the constituency accordingly with the support of former Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Ghanie Othman, why then the Chinese in Gelang Patah rather voted for Lim Kit Siang who has no track record at all in Gelang Patah over Ghani Othman?
Aren't service and track record matter most?
Re. You mean they are not free to vote for a malay
It is known fact that right from PRN Serawak that DAP have won all Chinese dominated constituencies with 12 Seats, and the trend was carried through in PRU13. There is nothing wrong with that for it is their prerogative, just like the trend along the Malay dominated constituencies between UMNO and PAS (in Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah).
The Gelang Patah seat, is the litmus test where BN/UMNO tried to figure out about the Chinese sentiment, whether they are voting along the candidate/party or racial line.
A similar fate faced by Datuk Seri Ali Rustam in Bukit Katil. With his track record to develop Melaka to what it is today. The Chinese has again voted against him favoring Shamsul Iskandar. In this contest, the BN/UMNO has seen further validation that the 95% Chinese want UMNO dead. There is no hiding about it.
Note: If you follow Datuk Ali Rustam FB, you can see some thick-faced Chinese who still throng his house for help, but he never turn them down though he is no longer a CM.
For the record, except for Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah, PKR and PAS seats have been won based on Chinese support. Another validation that they want UMNO/BN dead.
As per Tun M's comment "the End of Kongsi" between the Malay and Chinese.
DAP has promised the Chinese Putrajaya but they failed without the Malays support, and since then they have been on 24-7 Malay-Muslim-Centric Fake antics gearing up for PRU14.
Points to ponder. Do you think the Malay Girl who serves as Lim Kit Siang's Political Secretary because LKS believes in her capability? or Why mati-mati pun Zairil Khir Johari mengaku dia tu Melayu?

DeleteSaya dah start berkempen supaya orang Melayu pergi daftar untuk mengundi. Siapa depa sokong, itu depa punya pasal. Sya kan tegur anak muda dan orang tua dan ajak sembang. pelahan-lahan saya kan tanya dah mengundi ke belum? Saya suruh anak-anak dan saudara-mara saya turut berkempen.
Tapi, sudah pasti saya akan kata konsep BN adalah terbaik. Ia itu gabungan antara party politik berteraskan kaum yang Moderates. Bukan seperti Pakatan, dimana Party berteraskan kaum yang racist dan extermist seperti DAP dan PAS. Sekarang mereka guna Gereja untuk meraih undi pulak. Ini adalah bahaya.
RD,
DeleteCan you call up SPR and organize voter registration rally in areas around you? That will be a better idea. Fyi. the Cinabeng Evangelista has been doing it at the church on regular basis.
I am not sure who are your YB there, but if he/she is from UMNO, you can set up a table in Pekan or Pasar Malam for the same purpose together with the UMNO/BN community service center.
I bet you it may have cost YTL assumably 5 millions ringgit paid to the Edge for that constructed write up.
ReplyDeleteThe project has ascertained for YTL to be already being awarded. The write up is a complimentary to the award. More to that, it is to gain trust of the legitimately new form cooperation between the Sultan of Johor's enterprise and YTL group of companies.
1MDB can says goodbye to the 2000 MW coal fired power plant Project at Tanjung Tohor, Johor.
Having the Sultan of Johore representing Bumiputra as a strategic partner seems to be the equation. However, Syed Moktar, energy provider actives in Johore and TNB direct involvement are not in the equation.
The story here is, the few, the richer gets richer by securing one of the pillars of economy, that's energy, on the expense of unaffordable consumers. Capitalism will ride through the government control polices because polices cannot sustain by the inevitable forces of capitalist's greed and profitability for long.
As usual, my cousin brother's sister-in-laws office mate's friends' adopted sister's told my nephew. Don't like Malaysian Insider too!
ReplyDeleteI think the deal should and would go to 1MDB. They have a listing coming up this year.
ReplyDeleteAs for Ytl, just wanna say, you are so capable. Can do business elsewhere la where you don't have to use the 'who you know' since you are awarded the contract based on meritocracy and 'what you are capable of'.
To the Chinese. Don't be so bias la. I am Chinese and ytl treats ppl like shit. They work 5 and half day because the China man who likes to masquerade as western educated, are in fact very kedekut.
If you are not Christian, don't hope to be promoted to senior mgmt. They only do business with Christians. You check la who are their RM from CIMB. I can bet he or she is a 'staunch' Christian.
They also like to lick Rosmah' s ass. While you can't stop vilifying our dear PM's wife, they are busy pleasing her. Haha hahaha
They are rich at our expense la. I thought we are angry at the Government for signing lopsided deals? Their IPP s is what make them so rich. And you know what? They are quietly moving all the assets put of Malaysia and putting them in Singapore.
By the way, try working with ytl. I say for you Malay contractor you don't ever get the chance to work with this cheh kai company. Collecting money for services and work done by this China man company is a major headache. You ask la contractors that had work with ytl. Payment drag and drag. Until they know you are desperate...They ask you for further discount some more.
So for all you Chinese put there who wanna call me a turncoat and traitor. Whatever la. You never work with ytl don't talk so much.
They are stingy. They don't honor their promises unless your are a brother or sister in Christ. So even if your skin is same color, same dialect group. You can go to hell la.
Wei Han
Wei Han you talk so much bullshit and Ytl also got so much bullshit, then both of you two can sama-sama go to hell la. You want chinese hell or christian hell ?
Deletehahaha, kalau tak ada modal nak counter, senyap aje lah
DeleteWhy so defensive Anon 20:11?
DeleteWhat We Han said about the paying the contractors late is true. My dad used to work for a contractor that did work for YTL. Imagine payment can drag for 6 mths. Till it was near CNY. And his boss needed to give staffs bonus. Ended up giving a big discount to YTL just to collect the debt.
You think Chinese and Chinese so easy to do business? Imagine if your cash flow stuck because of this. I don't think much of them either. Do business the right way. So call yourself Christians but do business like you have no God.

It is a universal problem being a small contractor. They are bad paymasters. Because of them the contractors end up going to court which they cannot effort.
DeleteThe situation is, the suppliers sue the contractors and possibly they will be beaten by their workers because they cannot pay their services rendered. More than that, the bad paymasters have made them and their workers' families life miserable.
In such cases, the suppliers (hardwares) bear great lost in this exchanges. They have to manage their lost for a long time if they want to stay in business.

Prove me wrong then.
No LOL, you misunderstood already.
DeletePeople are saying you act like a piece of dirty shit, with full mouth of muddy shit and blazing dingy shits in Annie's blog.
The point is that you don't have to insult peoples' ancestry. Can you prove that the Chinese (which clans are you talking about anyway) are descendants of Comfort Women? If of the estimated 200,000 comfort women 10% were Chinese and three quarters of these died and the majority of the remainder were sterile due to disease (according to the comments in Wikipedia) how is this possible?

It was a dark history, nobody wants to admit that his/her fore-mother was a comfort women. Anyhow, the probability is always there. Just like the Dalit Community who refuses to acknowledge the dark truth about their past.

You deal with me in civilized manner, I will reciprocate the same. If you insult me and my people i.e Muslim and Malay, I will make sure you feel sorry that you were born.

I may be stupid and a fucking Idiot to you, which is a matter opinion of yours and your Dalit Gang alike btw. but I in return, state my case based on fact and published information that none of you can dispute.

DeleteRE Anyhow, the probability is always there.
True. But the point is you are making it a general statement. If you are directing it at a specific person please say so but you should have proof not general conjecture. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with being the descendant of a Comfort Woman. Those women (actually young girls) were prisoners of war who were raped and tortured by the Japanese (and I believe if not for Hiroshima and Nagasaki they would have gone on doing this and other horrendous deeds). The way you interpret things might as well say it is embarrassing to be descendants of Jews and other WW2 victims (but probably in your twisted mentality you look down on them too).
We don't really know if local Native women folk and Malay girls were raped by the Japanese but it is probably the case too as even East Timor girls were subject to such treatment (please see Wikipedia).

Why are you trying to avoid clarifying YOUR own statement on a matter of Islamic belief?
"...I have said it many time before, to them it is entertainment expenses/allowances but to us, the Muslims, it is Rasuah and Haram. Still the lure of money and fortunate has trapped many Malay Muslims into that...."
You know that racism is haram and yet you continue to practise it, so what is wrong with other Muslims who want to do things which are haram?

DeleteRe. Mullah
Mullah is defined as a Muslim learned in Islamic theology and sacred law. First thing first, why I should I be offended by that title, though I am not a learned scholar, but I surely hope so that one day I become one. It is a process and I am still learning. So why is that a joke to you then?
Unlike you, it is a fact that you are a Dalit and/or Devadasi Descendent, which you obviously tries to erase and the funny thing is, you thought it can be done by renouncing your religion. To me that is the real joke.
Re. You know that racism is haram and yet you continue to practise it, so what is wrong with other Muslims who want to do things which are haram?
Everybody has his/her vices, mine is being racist. You just have to deal with that. The same way when I mentioned the lure of money and fortune over bribes, I can only state but I never have I dictated. Learn to differentiate the two..
You see Glady, I am not a hypocrite, unlike you. You can insult people but demand people to be nice to you and others, in this case not being racist . Even when you apologizes, you made a mockery out of the word apology. Is that what atheism has taught you?
I have many free thinker, agnostic and atheist friends (even a Murtad Malay), but we don't go around insult each other. We just draw the lines of the do and don't. Maybe because they are Chinese, and they don't have the inferiority complex like the Dalit such as yourself.
Why does my being racist bother you in the first place. again? It is only verbal, unlike the Brahmin and other upper caste who detest and insult the Dalit (your kind btw) through and through until now. It is a form a racism, but you have mentioned something to the effect that the Caste System is ok, only that the golongan Istana doesn't know how mixed with the low caste people (WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?).
Glady@ Dalit Dude/Devadasi Descendent,
DeletePart 2
So what's a big deal then. If you can explain this, then maybe I have a different view about the Dalit.
